Victor Osimhen Shuts Down January Transfer Rumors, Vows to Stay at Galatasaray
Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen has ruled out a January exit from Galatasaray, despite ongoing speculation linking him to top European clubs.
Osimhen, who joined the Turkish Super Lig champions on loan from Napoli this summer, emphasized his commitment to remaining with Galatasaray for the entire season.
“They are talking about January. I am here until the end of the season,” Osimhen told Nexus Sports. “I don’t know what Galatasaray and Napoli are talking about after that. We will talk when they tell me. This is a club I really like.”
The 25-year-old has quickly made an impact at Galatasaray, scoring six goals and providing four assists in just eight appearances. His impressive performances have fueled rumors of a possible mid-season move, but Osimhen has made it clear he plans to see out the season in Turkey.
Super Eagles defender Calvin Bassey has opened up about a difficult period in his career, revealing that he almost stepped away from football.
Speaking during a recent interview, Bassey shared that he once made a personal promise to himself to quit pursuing football professionally if he failed to secure a spot at a professional club.
“I remember being 15 and going into my final year, and I told myself that if I didn’t get into a professional club, I would quit football. It was that simple,” he said.
“I would just stop pursuing it seriously and only play for fun. Thank God I eventually got a club, because I honestly don’t know where I would be otherwise.”
It has been reported that the Confederation of African Football (CAF) fined Egypt $5,000 following their clash with Zimbabwe for failing to manage post-match media obligations.
It was noted that after the match, the Egyptian players ignored the media. This action was said to be a violation of CAF’s media regulations, which led to the fine being imposed.
Head of the Super Eagles, Eric Chelle, shared that the big-name players on the team are not happy about being benched.
He recalled when he took out Samuel Chukwueze during the match against Tanzania.
“Yes, of course, we’ve in this team a lot of big names. They are competitors; they aren’t happy when they go to the bench,” Chelle said at his post-match interview.”
“My job is to make choices, and we’re playing a 4-4-2 diamond, and at this moment I feel we have to protect the wing.”
